Mr. Basketball
By Sam B.

In the city of Swoosh city lived a copious amount of basketball players. In this city of basketball players lived a young man named Mr. Basketball. Mr. basketball was the most talented basketball player in the sixth grade. Although his best friend Mr. Hoops was very talented at basketball as well, he still called himself the best. Mr. Basketball and Mr. Hoops play on the same basketball team and tomorrow is their championship game. Mr. Basketball invited Mr. Hoops over to get ready for the championship game. Mr. Basketball and Mr. Hoops played basketball all night until they were so tired they couldn’t even keep their eyes open, so they went inside and jumped into bed.

The next morning Mr. Basketball got up and slipped on his shoes. He looked at the clock and noticed it was 10:00 a.m. The game was starting right this second! Mr. Basketball ran downstairs and as soon as he was done with breakfast he ran out the door so fast his shoes slipped off his feet and he had to go back and put them on again.

Mr. Basketball got on his bike and was off to the Swoosh City Wreck center like a bullet. Once he arrived he was greeted by a glut of worried teammates. The game was already started and their coach wasn’t there. Mr. Basketball knew he had to take charge. He began by calling out the plays for the five teammates that were already on the court. Then at halftime it was his turn to play in the game. Who was going to take over the coaching job? Fortunately, Mr. Hoops knew the plays as well, so he took over.

While Mr. Basketball was on the court he was scoring baskets like a NBA player. But as he was scoring the other team was scoring too. Before Mr. Basketball knew it, it was the last minute of the fourth quarter. He had lost track of time! The crazy part was that the game was tied! Mr. Hoops whispered a play, “ Do a pick and roll, shot fake, up and under,” he exclaimed to his teammates. The play was very well designed and as the final buzzer sounded the ball fell into the basket!

The team went crazy. There were hollering and victory cries coming from every direction. They had on the championship game! “Now it is time to party, “ Mr. Basketball shouted.
“Yeah,” yelled the team. Then they were off to the bowling alley.

After three games of bowling, five pizzas, ten glasses of soda, and a huge cake the party eventually ended. Mr. Basketball and Mr. Hoops thought they were going to throw-up cause they ate so much. That night Mr. Hoops hung out at Mr. Basketball’s house. And you know what they did… PLAYED BASKETBALL!!!
